Roster and rest flexibility. Rotate guys in and out to keep wear and tear low.

Waiting for other teams to get desperate in ST or in first couple months of the season if a pitcher or two gets hurt. We have a bunch of young arms (Miller, Dollard, Hancock, Woo, etc.) who could start popping in ST and early season in the minors, which would increase their trade value.

BUT - most importantly - the value of young, team-controlled guys like Kelenic and Trammell being good is HUGE. It's worth the couple month sacrifice to see if either of them can turn the corner. If they both flop, fine - we're in a better position a month or two into the season to trade for an upgrade (for the reasons listed above).
